“With her latest cd, I Feel Cream, Peaches lets the world know beyond any doubt that underneath all her outrageous posturing, posing and deliriously deranged sexual antics, she is an extremely talented singer and songwriter. This cd is a relevation, from the beginning track (the one I'm rec'ing) all the way through to the very last. My 4 or 5 personal faves keep changing every time I listen (I suggest headphones) but the hellbent lyrics and drive of "Mud", the fury and frustration of "Talk To Me" and her surprising eloquent singing on "Lose You" are always on top.
If you've been a follower of her work over the years, as I have, or a newbie lucky enough to have discovered her at this pivotal point in her career, I cannot recommend this cd highly enough.”

“Get 'em while you can ~ Uh Huh Her's first full-length cd, available dirt cheap here at the Street! Favorite tracks: Not a Love Song, Common Reaction (title track), Away From Here, Dance With Me, and this one. ”

“Got turned on to The Early Years while searching today at the site for Low Vs Diamond, and I like 'em. Recommend all the tracks, starting with this one. ”

“This is why I love Amie Street - had never heard of Two Loons until today, when they were featured at the site. Been getting the crash course in the past hour, listening to all the tracks, downloading quite a few. This one, from Looking For Landmarks, is one of my favorites ~ quirky and eloquent, with another supremely committed vocal from Sarah Scott, who reminds me of Roisin Murphy, which is a HUGE compliment to Ms. Scott.”

“If you're not familiar with Electric Six, you've got a treat in store. These freaks are the Real Deal - phenomenal energy, fantastic music (with lyrics on the delightfully bent & twisted side), and their videos are hilarious, especially the one for Gay Bar, which you can view in all its demented glory at their website. Choosing this tune, but any one of these is worthy of REC-age, my other faves being Dance COmmandeR, I Invented The Night, Synthesizer and of course Gay Bar.
